My skin is not doing well
So every morning I wake up thinking the worst is behind me, and my skin will get better, but the recovery is painful and slow.
I honestly don't think my skin has ever looked worse.
The main issue is that my neck completely broke out. I do get the occasional pimple around that time of the month, but never anything like this.
The other main problem has been around my eyes. The skin is so sensitive and sore, and feels so wrinkly like I aged 5 years.
I still have a lot of red patches of dry skin.
After I wash my face my skin feels very dry and tight and I have no choice but to put some face cream on, even though I feel that's not so great for the breakout.
To explain the pictures:
I started peeling about 40-45 hrs after the peel application (Thu). I had to run an errand so I was in the sun briefly that afternoon. The area on my chin that was briefly exposed has stayed the most red. The skin underneath was super sensitive to anything. Especially the sunscreen and face protection cream that came with the peel.
By Friday evening most of the skin has peeled off, and only a few patches remained. I also started breaking out on Friday.
By Saturday evening the peeling was mostly complete, but certain areas that were super dry and red started peeling the second time. It was painful, and itchy, and sore. I had to ice my face. I discovered that aquaphor is recommended online, which I had at home and have been using it.
Sunday my face hurt less and was less sensitive but still very dry and tight after washing, and still covered in red patches and my neck is still terrible.
On the upper side of my cheeks, on the left and right, my skin discolored after the peel, and these two areas took the longest to peel off. The discoloration that occurred did peel off, and the skin is now pinkish in these areas. I believe the discoloration was just my light freckles coming to surface and peeling off.
I wanted to post these pictures as I had no idea my skin would get so awful. It certainly ruined my weekend and I haven't left my house. Funny that I would pay to do this to myself ????. At this point I'm not even hoping for improvement, I'm just hoping my skin returns back to the way it was. However improvement would be much appreciated after this experience.

Like most people in their 30's, I want to keep my skin young looking.
I have light freckles that I would love to eliminate if possible.
It was suggested that the peel would refresh my skin and I would have great results.
The technician said if I did the peel on Tuesday, I would peel on Thursday and Friday, and would be fine for the weekend. Yikes, that wasn't quite accurate. It's now Friday evening, and my fave is a mess! It's red, sore, sensitive, peeling and breaking out.
